How Do Mixer Showers Work?

They work by drawing water from both the hot and cold water supplies. These are blended together to give you the perfect desired temperature. In addition you can easily alter this temperature at any time. Mixer showers usually deliver high flow rates, making them a very satisfying shower indeed. You will also find this type of shower often comes with an additional handset for added flexibility when showering.

Mixer showers are perfect for homes that have hot water available on demand. Usually mixer showers are installed when the house has a combi boiler or hot water cylinder with a large capacity. The shower is fed by the hot and cold water supply and then delivered through the shower head. The majority of mixer showers will be made up of a fixed head, either attached to the wall or ceiling. Plus a diverter that will have the ability to alter the temperature and sometimes the water pressure as well.

In some circumstances, your mixer shower may require a shower pump to function to its full capacity. Shower pumps work by increasing the water pressure to your shower if the ground pressure is not high enough.

Available in various styles, your mixer shower can have a big influence on the overall theme of your bathroom. Unlike a lot of other kinds of showers such as electric showers, the designs will vary greatly. This makes it a perfect option if you are trying to create a trend in your bathroom space. Mixer showers also come in different sizes so that they can fit into a variety of shower enclosures.
